Hi all -
I ordered the rubber stamp making sample kit from LaserBits and got it last week. The self inking stamps come out really great and I've sold a few already... really they come out perfect!
Here's the question I have; I want to make a larger size stamp to mark our cardboard shipping boxes for our other items. I made a nice stamp about 3" x 2" but I can't get a good impression on cardboard. I tried several different new ink pads, one expensive one from Michael's, one from Office Depot. I even tried buying more ink and saturating the pad... didn't work. Then I bought a little roller made for wood block printing. I hand rolled the ink onto the stamp. Still, a lousy impression. What's the secret here? Is there some other technique I'm missing to get a good impression from a large size stamp onto a cardboard box? I don't mind it a little faint or blotchy, but so far I can't even get it good enough to read the text. Does anyone out there know about this stuff??
Help!
and thanks,
Paul
